Bass Phillip is recognized by many observers as the finest pinot noir producer in Australia.
Established in 1979 by Phillip Jones, Bass Phillip specialises in producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Driven by their respect for nature and biodynamic farming, grape growing and winemaking are uncompromising in their attention to detail and quality.
Low intervention in the vineyard and in the cellar permits the wines to show flavours and characteristics of the region – length, complexity, balanced acidity, lovely minerality, and with a certain polish and character that makes them truly extraordinary vintage after vintage.

Full colour, slightly more purple than that of the Premium; it’s hard to pause long enough to savour all the perfumed spices, ethereal red, purple and black fruits, for all point to the one direction – the palate. Once you yield, its awesome concentration, power and length almost make you flinch. Earth, briar and tannins carry the opulent fruits across into and along every corner of the mouth, the flavours persisting for an interminably long time. Drink By: 2035.
